This was my daughters 3rd visit since she was two. The wait was short. They understood that she was not ready to go... through X-rays. The cleaning and fluoride treatment went smoothly. Dr. Patel counted the teeth and checked for cavities. And kiddo got a prize. My daughter has no anxiety going to the dentist and we will continue to go to Stuart Pediatric Dentistry.read more

This was my daughter's first visit ever to a dentist so naturally she was a bit nervous. Dr. Patel and her team were... fantastic! From the second we checked-in till we left, they were very warm and friendly. Great communication step by step throughout the procedures to ease my daughters anxiety. Thank you for making this a pleasant experience!read more

Always an exceptional visit at this clean, welcoming and staff friendly practice. Staff are amazing and work so very... well with both of my children. From the time you enter until the time you leave, the staff are professional. They are timely (you are not sitting in the waiting room 30+ minutes), know how to appropriately engage the children while keeping the children slightly distracted with a movie while getting dental services completed.The doctors and dental assistants even provide a thorough visit summary post cleaning. And I love that a toothbrush, floss and sometimes a toy is also provided to keep consistent cleaning ongoing.Love this office!read more

Dr. Patel and Dr. Matos only need one word to describe what they do everyday. Integrity! They have always been so... helpful to make sure my wife and kids and I are comfortable. They are not only able to speak intelligently, but also in a way that you are not left with any type of concern. We will continue to go. We highly recommend to anyone with small children. You will be treated as family, just as we are.read more

As I arrived at Stuart Pediatric Dentistry, I received warm and welcomed greetings from the staff working at the front... which was Alexis, Liz, and Evelyn. Alexis made sure that all of my questions and needs were met, as well as my daughters. Alexis was so sweet and kind to us, it was a pleasure working with her. Liz and Evelyn helped with the check in process which was very efficient and prompt. Melissa made my daughter feel at home and comfortable which I loved. Dr. Matos was great and swift. I will most definitely recommend Stuart Pediatric Dentistry to other families that I know. Thank you so much for the great service.read more

When we first walked in it felt like a family place and then we met Melissa who was extremely awesome with our... 6-month-old and can't forget Dr. Matos, hands down best place to have your baby/kids get their teeth checked and the toys are the best at the end... Says my little one. This was by far the best first dental visit ever, especially being first-time parents.read more

So where do I start!? The moment I walked in the door everyone was so pleasant! They were very punctual… the huge is we... had was Erica… she was so good with my daughter making her laugh through the entire X-ray procedure and cleaning. She was very very thorough and attentive to the problematic areas without making my daughter flinch! The dentist, Dr. Matos came in ready. He’s reviewed the X-rays and has communicated with me thoroughly and plainly so I understood everything! My daughter and he shared a few cackles and explained a plan of action for a couple of areas and I was relieved to see an actual caring doctor who I felt took their time to make sure she and I was comfortable with everything. Finally at the end of the appointment I was checked out with this bubbly lady named Liz. She made sure my future appointments were set and I was notified of any charges I would have to pay in the future procedures which are reasonable. Her nails were super cute too! (Just had to throw that in there).I’m eternally grateful we were able to experience this office and will continue to recommended them wholeheartedly.read more

This office was recommended to us by our daughters' pediatrician. I can't say enough about this place and the staff! It... is a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in the door. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and polite, and the office is decorated in a way that will make your child feel comfortable. They have screens above the dental chair so that the kids can watch their favorite shows or movies while getting work done. My 4 year old daughter gets excited to go to the dentist, which was shocking to me. However when you come here, you will understand why. Melissa and Dr. Patel are fantastic with the kids and do such a great job. I'm so glad that we were recommended to go here. It is the Dentist you wish you had as a kid.read more

We've been twice and have great experiences both times. The staff is super friendly, Erica was my daughter's hygienist... and she was great with my 4 year old.

My 4 year old saw Yoana and Dr. Matos last week. Yoana is incredibly friendly and spoke directly to my daughter,... explaining the entire process.My daughter had a scary experience last time at a different dental office (not associated with this place), so she was pretty nervous. Yoana put her right at ease and my daughter opened her mouth and had the gentle cleaning done without issue.Dentist is also friendly, spoke directly to my daughter, and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. (Some dentists completely ignore child patients and will only speak to the parent. I teach my children to be active and vocal in their medical care, so this is a huge positive for us)Front desk staff is also wonderful. Thank you!!read more

Most recent visit: This office is still great, my youngest needed outpatient to crown her molars but unfortunately it... was very hard to get in. A few months went by and we continued going to regular check ups. My youngest was doing good very well so Dr. Patel decided to go ahead and try the procedures in office. They are very serious about not having dental visits be traumatic experience. The day of our appointment my daughter let the dentist know which tooth was bothering her the most based on how bad the tooth got it had to come out. I could tell the doctor really cared and hated that it had to come to extraction without being out under. My daughter did cry but she also hugged the dentist after. For the last 2 teeth my youngest needs done I chose their option for sedation in office to complete the treatment plan. I’m grateful for the treatment options and the caring staff.Past Visit: This office is wonderful. The office is clean and has a great play area for the kids. One of my kids was traumatized at another dental office and after coming here she is no longer afraid. My oldest daughter asks which office we are going to because she doesn’t want to return to the old place they used to go. Here my kids fight about who gets to sit in the chair first. The staff is kind and patient.read more

Sedation Dentistry
Helping children fly through their appointment.
Nitrous Oxide
This mild form of sedation helps your little one feel relaxed during their dental appointment. The sweet-tasting gas is delivered through a nasal hood while being gently inhaled.
IV Sedation
This type of sedation is ideal when your child needs to undergo a more extensive restorative procedure. A pediatric anesthesiologist and nurse will help your child feel relaxed and sleepy (with no pain) while still being conscious. We monitor your child throughout and ensure they remain comfortable.
Hospital Services
If your child requires a more complex dental procedure, our pediatric dentists in Stuart, FL, may suggest general anesthesia. We partner with a local hospital to provide expert care in a specially equipped operating room.
